The U.S. Forest Products Laboratory, in Madison, says it’s opening a $1.7 million pilot plant that will support an emerging market for wood products derived from nanotechnology. The products could be stronger than Kevlar and lighter than fiberglass or carbon fiber. Those attributes have caught the attention of companies in the automotive, aerospace, electronics and medical-device industries as well as ... Read More »

A novel imaging technique sheds new light on bacterial mobility and adhesion. A scientific endeavour carried out by two French groups belonging to INSERM and CNRS at Aix-Marseilles University shows for the very first time that both bacterium adhesion to and bacterium motion on a surface are driven by the same mechanism. Those findings result from collaborative work with Nanolane, ... Read More »
